If your home has photos of gedolim on the wall, do you also put family pictures up on the wall? Do you put gedolim on one wall, family on another, making it seperate? Or do you just put a hodgepodge of photos, some gedolim, some little chanaleh riding her first bike, wedding pictures, the other gedolim?

Maybe I'm just a little nuts, but I don't think its so mechubadik to hang family pictures and gedolim pictures in the same place.
Do you agree, disagree, or what?

quite unconsciously I kept them separate. Now that you mention it, it's a good idea!

I don't have any pictures of Gedolim hanging on our walls. (should I feel guilty???)
I hope it's not Halacha. (I do know there's an Inyan of: "והיו עיניך רואות את מוריך")

In our living room we have some from our wedding, some of the family, some art.

Its not a halacha. At all.
I grew up without pics of gedolim in my house. I always felt that houses with pictures of gedolim had a much different atmosphere, because when you're constantly looking at gedolim, you think more about emulating them. So I decided to have lots of gedolim pictures on my wall...

I keep pictures of the Rebbe & my family separate.

I keep them separate.
I guess it's not kovodik, but also it's so unorganized to have them mixed together! I like some order Smile

Not really separated... my family pics are in the living room on the fireplace and walls. Dh's gedolim pics on the walls and book shelves.

We don't have gedolim pictures on our public-area walls either; just some Jewish art.

My husband has a picture of his rebbe in his office.
